John needs a cold-storage unit to reopen a small grocery stall
John has run a small grocery stall for nine years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $5,150 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a small grocery stall in Bowling Green. In July, the demolition of the market took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 weeks.
This business pays my children's school fees and rent. I have already started working from home in small ways, but I can't meet orders without proper equipment.
Every contribution brings me closer to reopening, and I promise to post photos as I buy each item.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $5,150 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $3,550
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $560
• Shop repairs and licensing: $320
• Working capital for the first month: $720
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending strength. Hope you make a strong comeback. Thinking of Bowling Green
Keep going. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Ballarat
